Questions about this trip

Do I need a visa for Iceland?

Iceland is in the Schengen area, so UAE nationals usually travel visa-free for short stays. Other nationalities should check Schengen visa rules with us.

Is self-drive a good option?

Yes in summer. In winter we recommend the guided coach version of this tour, since roads can close after storms.

What should I pack?

Layers and a windproof, waterproof jacket, even in summer, plus swimwear for the Blue Lagoon.
